Sam finds a clue to Dean's whereabouts, so he, Mary (guest star Samantha Smith) and Bobby (guest star Jim Beaver) set out to investigate. Castiel imparts some sage advice on Jack, who, still desperate to belong, seeks out a familial connection.

Plot

In a church, Michael is conducting experiments on vampires. He slits one’s throat to collect blood, mixing it with angelic grace. When he forces the vampire to drink it, the body burns out due to an incorrect balance between the two substances.

At the bunker, Sam uncovers police reports from Duluth describing a pile of corpses with their eyes burnt out. Castiel suspects Michael is behind it. Sam, Bobby, and Mary prepare to investigate, leaving Castiel behind to “babysit” Nick and Jack.

Castiel brings nourishment to Nick, when Castiel avoids eye contact, Nick reminds him he’s not Lucifer. Though Castiel understands, he still finds it difficult to look at him. Nick admits he doesn’t know why he agreed to be Lucifer’s vessel. Castiel responds that it was because of his family—Sarah and Teddy.

Sam, Mary, and Bobby examine the bodies in Duluth and discover they’re not human, but vampires. This raises questions about Michael’s intentions and why he’s hunting them.

Back at the bunker, Castiel speaks with Jack and notes he appears to be reading “two centuries' worth of biblical lore.” Jack explains he’s researching how long it takes for an archangel’s grace to replenish. Castiel says it could range from a month to a century, and that Jack’s human nature will slow the process. Frustrated by his powerlessness, Jack feels useless, but Castiel reassures him that what matters is not the past, but the future.

Elsewhere, Michael stares at his reflection in a hotel mirror while wearing a tuxedo. Dean appears in the reflection, demanding he leave. Michael responds, “I don’t think so,” and smashes the glass, reasserting control.

Back in the bunker, Nick tells Castiel there’s no record of his family’s case ever being solved. When Castiel reaches out to comfort him, Nick's expression changes and he snaps his fingers, warning him not to touch him which momentarily frightens Castiel. Castiel asks why he just did that, Nick appears unaware of what happened. Castiel begins to suspect Lucifer’s influence may still linger.

Sam’s, Mary and Bobby raid a female vampire’s place and says they know who she is. She insists her group only fed on animal blood—until “he” arrived. She explains that he tied them up and drained their blood, experimenting rather than killing. When she seems to have no further information, Bobby steps forward to eliminate her. She begs for her life, offering Michael’s location in exchange.

Meanwhile, Michael sits with two werewolves, admiring how they kill to survive rather than for sport. He claims God is on permanent vacation and that demons and angels no longer matter—leaving him in charge. He tells them to become hunters, not be hunted.

Jack visits his grandparents, posing as a friend of Kelly’s, since he doubts they’d believe he’s their grandson due to his age. He shares that Kelly is pregnant with a son, is a loving mother, and that her child loves her. Overwhelmed, they tear up with joy.

Later, Castiel scolds Jack for going out alone, warning that both angels and demons are after him. Jack says he just wanted to meet the only real family he has left. Castiel doesn’t argue and instead asks if the visit helped. Jack nods, then wonders if Sam’s team has found Michael. Castiel says no—and says their goal is to get Michael out of Dean. Jack firmly insists they should kill Michael, even if it means losing Dean.

Nick confronts Arty, angry that he denies seeing anyone enter his house the night of the murders. Nick recalls police reports saying the killer used a hammer to bash in his family’s skulls. Arty continues to deny it, saying he saw no man has entered the house. Enraged, Nick slams him against the wall, convinced he’s hiding something.

Sam, Mary, and Bobby arrive at Michael's former location-a church-only to be ambushed by werewolves. Silver bullets prove ineffective, so Sam decides to resort to decapitation when nothing works. Once the pack is dead, the doors burst open. Michael stands before them-only to be revealed he's actually Dean. Sam is stunned, but Dean explains Michael left his body for reasons unknown.

Nick stares at a mirror, all covered in blood, he holds up and looks at the blood stained hammer, and walks away, leaving the now deceased Arty to himself.
